I've been comparing this article to Bergman & Klefsjö (2001), Kvalitet - från behov till användning, ISBN 91-44-01917-3, Studentlitteratur: Sweden, Lund and I've found several differences (the book is available in English: Bergman & Klefsjö, Quality - from Customer Needs to Customer Satisfaction, ISBN 91-44-04166-7, Studentlitteratur: Sweden, Lund). The authors also point out that it is not clear who came up with TQM. They refer to the Naval Aviation Logistics Command (NALC) when they in 1984 tried to implement Ishikawa's “Total Management Control” but didn't like the word “Control”. One of the members, Nancy Warren, suggested replacing the word with “Management”.
So I'm wondering whether my facts are wrong or not? Foremost on NALC and Ishikawa's “TQC”. I have changed and added that the origin is not clear with some poeple's views.
